Black obsidian is a psychic shield you need to help guard your aura from bad bosses, clingy colleagues, uncooperative coworkers, and general workplace angst. While this rock might help you out in the short term, remember, a toxic environment is more likely to change YOU than IT, so get out when you can.

This stone is your ally when you need all of your powers of resilience and courage to overcome obstacles. Malachite is loving and generous: it wants you to win, and it will let all of its magic flow into you as your own powers fade or are depleted. Malachite brings perseverance and determination to the table, helping you to renew your energies whenever you need.

If you tend to overthink yourself to the point of burnout, this focus-boosting rock belongs in your arsenal. Hold it when you feel overwhelmed or frazzled, and ask to be guided toward your priority in the moment.

Moonstone has an intuitive, mystical presence. It will guide your way in meditation (just place on your forehead or hold in your hand) and aid you on journeys of self-discovery. If you work in a creative field or just need help brainstorming, this is the rock for you. Sleep with it beneath your pillow to help stimulate your imaginative powers.

Amber is fossilized tree resin (you’ve seen Jurassic Park, right?), and legend has it that it contains the souls of tigers, bringing their power and courage to its wearer. It helps you take down the barriers you put in your own way and encourages you to become the best versions of yourself. Amber should be a permanent resident in your workplace.

Clear quartz crystals are all about cleansing, recharging, and just boosting your mood. In fact, they’re sometimes used to charge *other* crystals. Keep one by you to keep your energy up.

This fiery gem will help you bring passion to your projects. It’s perfect for tasks that require creativity, innovation, and inspiration.

If you’re starting a new job or project, then keep a chunk of chrysoprase on your desk or in your pocket for good luck.

Keep the mood positive and hopeful and things will go great.

Amethyst is a multi-tasking gem that has been used for centuries in love, healing, creativity, and protection. In the workplace, this beautiful crystal can help you to create inspiring visions and plans for the future. Try placing one on the center of your forehead when you need to come up with an idea. Surrender to its purple haze and let symbols, ideas, words, pictures or scenes flash before your inner mind’s eye.

Aqua aura quartz is a promoter of expansion, new horizons, lateral thinking, ideation, and progress. Keep one close when you feel stuck. This quartz wants you to go beyond, do more, get more, be more. Carry one when you’re making a proposal or application and your ideas will be well received.

Peridot guards against jealousy, betrayal, and low self-worth. Wear it as jewelry on your right-hand side for maximum protection or as earrings (your neck and back are the most vulnerable spots for absorbing others’ negative vibes). Peridot is your workplace ~bodyguard~ when you know there are rivals coming for your spot.
